Orange Hot Shots:

• The second step in the Hot Shots program, aimed at children aged roughly 8–10 years progressing from Red Stage
• Introduces a slightly more dynamic ball—an orange ball with approximately 50% compression, offering higher bounce and faster pace than the red ball
• Played on a three-quarter length court (regular net height over a shortened court) that better mirrors the full-size adult court
• Skills & Learning Focus - Technical development: Refinement of forehands, backhands, volleys, overheads, and serves—including an introduction to overarm serving and spin techniques
• Tactical growth: Emphasis on ball placement, shot selection, beginning to keep score, and developing rally-building strategies
